Are big fairing bikes (F4i) more susceptible to sidewind than RR?
Since only bike I’ve ever ridden is F4i, I was wondering if the size of fairing makes difference in sidewind. As a newbie rider, it’s quite challenging to ride in windy days, especially for corners. (and it feels weird that the bike is leaned while going straight then wind suddenly changes the direction & I panic…etc).
It seems all the new sportbikes have minimal fairing (which I like their simple look).

winds gonna effect the bike no matter what, if you have more fairings or less fairings. look at the moto gp they have race fairings all the way around there bikes. like schira said lil more gas and steer into it just a lil

So if you are worried about wind you should get a big, heavy Harley.

fairings dont make a difference, but weight does. The lighter the bike the easier it is to be blown about.

No matter how old/mature I become, I don’t think I’ll ever ride a Harley just to beat the winds. heh… but I like Buell (1125R)…
So, I guess size of fairing doesn’t make any noticeable difference in sidewinds. Thanks all.
